I think there is more kinetic energy (KE) than gravitational potential energy (GPE). Kinetic energy is energy and object has due to its motion. GPE is energy stored in an object due to its position. There is a TON of KE in the world. For example, when ever air gets hot, its molecules move around a bunch. That takes KE. Another example of KE is when you walk around. Since you are moving, you have KE. My third example is right now, blood is pumping through my body right at this moment and because it's moving it has KE. The Earth has lots of GPE too. Whenever you jump, you have GPE. When you lift something, it has GPE. Lastly, when you toss something in the air it has GPE. The reason for me thinking that there is more KE in the world is that every molecule moves, every blood cell moves, and because there are molecules in everything, that means that there is KE everywhere. That is why I believe the world has more KE than GPE.
